Happy Easter – 4.4.10

 

It’s Easter Morning…All the girls are up and dressed and looking beautiful..Did the Easter Bunny come to Aunt Cindy’s home??  I hope so…Did the Easter Bunny travel across the Atlantic Ocean to visit Laurianna’s home??  I hope so….Laurianna had her fun over in Sicily going on Easter egg hunts…Kayla, Brianna & Elizabeth went on Easter egg hunts at LifePoint church and at Uncle Josh’s…What fun they all had…

The front porch of Uncle Josh & Aunt Sandy’s home…Also sitting on the steps is our newly acquired granddaughter, Mary…

I hope all the kids had a wonderful Easter…We love you all!!!

Easter Eve – 4.3.10

Happy Easter to our granddaughters…Kayla, Brianna & Elizabeth live in West Virginia and Laurianna who lives in Sicily…The Easter Bunny had some traveling to do to get to all our girls…

Brandi was taking her daughters to her Aunt’s house for the night and while they were there, the decorating of the hard boiled eggs began…

Kayla, Brianna & Elizabeth were at a table with their Mommy, Brandi, getting ready to dye their eggs to put in their baskets…Kayla was writing her name on her egg so that she knew which one belonged to her…It looked like Brianna & Lizzi wrote their names on an egg too…The girls were having some fun…

Look at these beautiful eggs…I bet they had so much fun making those double colored eggs (with Mommy’s help, I am sure)…and they look beautiful…I sure do miss dying eggs with kids, my own or the grandkids…

Can you tell whose egg belongs to whom??  The girls did a wonderful job on their eggs…

 

Easter morning had arrived…The 3 girls are all dressed up but one of them is not happy…I don’t think she got enough sleep on Easter Eve…But how beautiful did the 3 of them look…Luckily nowadays, the girls don’t have to dress up like I had to back in the early 60’s…Fluffy dress, white gloves, patten leather shoes, a silly hat and a hairdo that was awful…Nowadays little girls can dress up very simply and look gorgeous…

 

Oh my!  The Easter Bunny came in the night…The Easter Bunny left 3 baskets full of goodies…I bet all 3 of them could not wait to tear in to their baskets, to start eating some chocolate, to see if they got a toy…

And to finish up the Easter morning at their Aunt Cindy’s house, Kayla had one final pose…Can anyone else do that???  I know I can’t but she made Poppy & I laugh very hard…It was a great way to start our Easter morning…

   Over in Sicily our littlest granddaughter, Laurianna, was getting ready to dye eggs too…but she was more interested in cracking the egg or spilling the dye…Sure do hope that dye came up or the parents were smart to put down plastic…LOL..

  Misti & Chad helped Anna with the dying of the eggs but she found the Trisket to be a better option than dying eggs…I’ll bet these eggs turned out neat looking too…

Chad and Anna dying eggs…Anna looks more comfortable in his arms and looks like she could care less about the eggs…Next year will be better…Great job, Chad…

First Visit to Magic Kingdom - 3.4.10

The first day of entering Walt Disney World..These are the gates to the most magical place on Earth..

Wilderness Lodge is such a beautiful lodge and the flowers around the lodge make for pretty pictures..Brianna just adds a bit precious to the background..

Brianna's first boat ride from Wilderness Lodge to the front of Magic Kingdom..This is the Friendship I that runs from the back of the lodge, on the Seven Seas Lagoon & up to the dock that loads off the passengers to go in to Magic Kingdom..The first trip in to Magic Kingdom, she wanted to be Princess Jasmine..

Arriving in to Magic Kingdom, we got our "free" stroller to put our stuff in and to put her in..Then we strolled on down Main Street towards the Castle..The first place we are heading is Toontown where the Princesses are located..

The Princesses & Fairies are in a building that has 2 lines..The guests chose which line they want and how much time they want to wait in that line..For the Princesses, I think there was a 30 minute wait, which isn't a bad time to wait..

The first Princess that Brianna sees is Cinderella..Cinderella was asking Brianna all kinds of questions about her outfit, her doll, and what fun was she having..Cinderella found out that Brianna was a hugger too..

 

The second Princess we saw was Princess Belle..Brianna keeps calling her Beauty but she knows who she is talking about..Princess Belle was very impressed with Brianna and her talking about things and hugs..

The third Princess was Princess Aurora..After talking with the Princess and autographing her book, Brianna showed Aurora her painted nails and talked on and on..We had to "drag" her away from Aurora..Before she could leave the Princess, Brianna just had to give one more big hug..

As you can see, it was a bit chilly this day of searching for autographs..Here we all are waiting in the line for Princess Ariel..I think we waited in line for about an hour..What grandparents will do for their grandchild's autograph book..But actually, I think Brianna pulled the strings to Poppy's sweatshirt to make him laugh..I think she giggled more than he did...LOL

After waiting in line for over an hour, we finally got to see Princess Ariel while Brianna was able to sit next to the Princess..Ariel signed her book and Bri was telling her about meeting the other Princesses..Brianna also told Ariel how she liked her tail..

Downtown Disney - Princess Poses

Princess Aurora and Brianna...Do you think Brianna could be a Princess???  All of these wonderful Princess poses was done in front of the World of Disney at Downtown Disney..

 

Downtown Disney Visit - T-Rex Fun

Poppy and I decided that it was time to take Brianna to this awesome restaurant in Downtown Disney called T-REX..The inside is nothing but prehistoric design..

Two of my favorite people wanted a picture taken in front of the prehistoric dinosaur..Bri wanted to know if it was real or fake..We let her touch it to see for herself..If she thought this one dinosaur was big, wait until she went inside..

Outside the restaurant is this safari jeep with all the making of going on Safari on top of the jeep..We werent' going digging but we were sure gonna have some fun with meteor showers and dinosaurs making all kinds of noises..

While waiting for our name to be called, Brianna decided to climb all over this dinosaur's foot..Granted she had on the wrong shoes for climbing but she did a pretty good job of moving around all the toes and knuckles of this prehistoric dinosaur..Not sure if she even knew she was climbing all over a dinosaur's foot and not even sure if she would care..LOL

Once done climbing, she wanted to sit next to Poppy and have her picture taken..She was being such a good girl (so far) and was being a pretty princess..

Once inside the restaurant and at our table, Brianna wanted to go exploring and seeing all the different animals that were around..We ran in to this baby triceratops..She wanted to touch it to see if it was real but then backed out at the last minute..It is actually made out of rubber, or so it felt like rubber..

 

Another baby Triceratops..

While walking around the T-REX restaurant, we came across this dinosaur that has a snake-like head..and this is the baby dinosaur too..Brianna saw it and just kept on walking by looking at the walls..

On our departure of the restaurant, Brianna and Poppy found these baby Mammoths..They were so cute and their eyes moved..The restaurant is done in a very cool way and very interesting for kids of all ages..

Brianna order Dinosaur nuggets and waffle fries with a coke..She actually liked the waffle fries and the nuggets..For $6.99 she got 8 nuggets and fries with the coke..Richard and I ordered cheese steak subs which were very good..I got chips with my sub while Richard got waffle fries with his..As it turned out, I didn't like the crispy chips and he did so we exchanged our chips/fries..Brianna kept an eye on the fish tank and saw "Dory" swim around many times..I think she had a good time in there..
